@DanisMCFC As a Villa fan, I’d be fuming if it was Ollie. The rule is absolutely ridiculous. The offside and handball rules need changing.

@EzriKonsa @TyBracey Had a little tear reading that. I Believe. UTV

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@danbardell @The1874Podcast Not bad for a man who switched clubs because UTD had a bigger reach.

Fair play to him though. Hes created a brand that works, entertained us all with his breakdowns.

@leeroy8309 @TotalVilla_ Personally think Mings retires at the club and is employed in some sort of coaching capacity

[Emma @WhatTheForkAVFC]

Yes.

Aston Villa woke up one morning a few weeks ago and decided they were the best team in the country.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@IanTaylor7 It’s done. And Harvey is a superb signing. Now I get to look forward to listening to yourselves and Lee tonight. Can’t wait.

Jeremy Clarkson says his cows have TB.

Again.

He also claims to have already killed the badgers on his farm. So what now?

This is the ugly truth about bovine TB that the government and the farming lobby don’t want to admit: killing badgers doesn’t work.

For over a decade, tens of thousands of badgers have been shot, trapped, and slaughtered across England in a cruel, unscientific cull — justified on the promise that it would reduce TB in cattle.

But here we are. 2025. Clarkson’s cows have TB. The badgers are already dead. The infection is still spreading.

Why? Because this was never about solving TB. It was about blame.

The reality is:
•Most bovine TB spreads from cow to cow, not badger to cow.
•Cattle testing is outdated, unreliable, and misses infected animals.
•Long-distance cattle movements across the country continue, unchecked.
•Biosecurity is ignored while wildlife takes the fall.

Clarkson isn’t an anomaly. He’s the symptom of a broken system — one where farmers are encouraged to kill wildlife instead of fix the real problem.

We don’t need more culling. We need truth, science, and compassion.

🦡 End the badger cull. Fix the system

@GrantHames @Lichfield_DC I’d like to see the ecological constraints plan and report from an ECoW from the works. However, I suspect there wasn’t one.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@mckeown_ryan It’s why as a business owner you employ Heck. He’s not afraid to make tough or “unpopular” decisions in the short term for the benefit of the long term vision.

May come across brutal now, but in X years we’ll thank him.

@WhatTheForkLads Was such a good way to kick start the game. Everyone around me sat intensely enjoying the moment, listening to this legendary voice.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@B6Nigel @AVFCSupport @WMPVillaFC Bit late now. Someone has already been run over once this season.

If there was ever a moment to leave a lump in your throat….. this is it. #AVFC #UTV

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@BaldDavid_ I’ve said this before a ball was even kicked. Everton is a mess from the top down. There’s only so many times you can just about survive till you drop.

Wolves sold 5 top footballers in two summers and have had zero replacement signings. Good manager. Terrible owners.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ Wait till I have to tell work colleagues I’m going to wankdorf to see young boys

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@MatKendrick what a legend. Thanks to you and the boys for the taxi ride back from the stadium. Appreciated UTV!

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@MikeKnott10 @AVFCTheReligion Louie has signed a new contract then gone back out on loan already.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@MrNickKnowles don’t suppose you’ve got my membership card have you? HOG have sent me the wrong one! Lol

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@JUSTIN_AVFC_ Locally, I think replacing wiggy can only be a good thing though. His pure lack of desire to represent Burntwood was an absolute disgrace.

[Scott Latham @wildlifescott]

@StanCollymore This is smells us against Fulham under Gerrard. A bunch of lads fed up of terrible tactics from an inept yes man.
